Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before starting.
Is Hadley a real person?
No — Hadley is an AI coach. She writes like a thoughtful friend, remembers your goals, and keeps the thread of your conversation, but there’s no human on the other end. We think that’s worth saying plainly.
How often will you text me?
It’s an open conversation — there’s no limit. Hadley gets things started each morning, and you can reply whenever, as often as you want: talk through a decision, ask for a reminder, or have her check in on something. Some people exchange a few texts a day; others text her all day long.
What does it cost?
Your first 3 days are free. After that it’s $12/month. You can cancel anytime and you’ll never be charged for a period you didn’t choose.
How do I cancel?
Just reply CANCEL and it’s done — or reply BILLING for a self-serve link to manage your subscription. No retention maze, no “are you sure” gauntlet.
Will you spam me or share my number?
Never. You’ll only ever hear from Hadley, your number is never sold or shared beyond what’s needed to deliver your texts, and replying STOP opts you out of everything instantly.
Do I need to finish my book first?
No. Start wherever you are — at the beginning, halfway through, or finished months ago. Hadley meets you there.
What books work with Hadley?
Any book, though Hadley shines with nonfiction — books full of ideas you want to live by, not just read about. Give her the title and she’ll read the whole thing to find what matters most for you.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Hadley is plain SMS and works on any phone — nothing to download, no account to log into, no new habit to build around a new app.
Where is Hadley available?
Currently in the United States and Canada.
What happens after my 3 free days?
On the evening of day 3 you’ll get a text with a link to subscribe, and day 4 brings one last reminder. After that, texts simply pause until you subscribe — nothing is ever charged without you choosing it.
Can I pause for a while?
Yes. Just tell Hadley you need a break and she’ll pause your texts; tell her you’re back whenever you’re ready and she’ll pick up where you left off.
Is my data private?
Your messages are used to coach you — to remember your goals and keep the thread — and are never sold. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Still curious about something? Start your free 3 days and just ask Hadley — she’s good with questions.
